📌 From New Zealand / Age: 30~35

The housemates were really welcoming and there was a mix of people from all over the world. There is always someone to talk to in the communal areas and there is usually someone who speaks Japanese and English to help with translating or some language tips. It was also possible to spend time alone so it was a perfect environment for introverts and extraverts. I am really glad that I came to the sharehouse rather than staying alone. In addition, housemates sometimes organise dinners on weekends which is a great way to get to know each other better. Despite being a bit older than most people at the house, I always felt like I fit in as people were very friendly.

常にリビングに人がいて、話したい時に話したいだけ話せます。住み始めた当初は、みんなと仲良くなれるのか不安でしたが、住んでいるうちに家族のように仲良くなることができました。平日、休日かかわらず色んな人と交流ができるので、一人暮らしでは得られない経験ができると思います。迷ってる方はぜひ短期間でも住んでみるとシェアハウスのイメージがいい意味で変わるかもしれないです！

とても快適でした！騒がしくなく、でも静かすぎず穏やかなシェアハウスだと思います、リビング、中二階、屋上、廊下の日当たりの良さ、全てが私のお気に入りの居場所でした。毎日誰かと話せるのはとても素敵な環境でした。仕事で疲れていても「頑張ってね」「今日どうだった」と話してくれる同居人がいることの暖かさが身に染みました。

The atmosphere in this share house has been lovely. Never before have I experienced living with such kind and welcoming people. Everyone I have met here has a special place in my heart. I was able to learn about people from all around the world and make memories I will never forget!

TESEN is more than just a place to live

• People of different nationalities, languages, and cultures naturally connect little by little, every single day.

• It’s not about big parties — it’s about the everyday moments that bring people together.

• That’s why so many say, “I want to live here again” or “It feels like home.”
